Both brothers were present during a [[Battle of Karava|conflict]] with [[Jovus]]' pack.{{Ref/Comic|RoA|Issue=[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 5|5]]}} Warlord Pavium is an architect and siegemaster, making and unmaking fortifications at Atriox's command. Given the epithet “The Unbreakable” for his implacable discipline and prowess in combat engineering, Pavium’s skill is unimpeachable, but conflicting ties of loyalty to his clan and brother Voridus had slowed advancement in the Banished. Eager to prove his worth, Pavium redoubled the efforts of his pack since their setback on [[Installation 09]].{{Ref/Reuse|back}} | ||

Months after [[Installation 09]] left the Ark, Atriox tasked Pavium and his brother with a mission to salvage starships near the remains of ''[[High Charity]]'' to judge their worthiness as members of his inner circle.{{Ref/Reuse|Wrong}}{{Ref/Reuse|back}} While Voridus scouted ahead near ''High Charity'', Pavium established an outpost near a Forerunner defense station which contained the [[Archive]].{{Ref/Reuse|Wrong}} As Pavium and his forces began establishing a salvage path towards ''High Charity'', they were attacked by the Flood, which had been inadvertently released by Voridus when he breached the containment shield around ''High Charity'' in an attempt to salvage its interior. Unable to contact Voridus but unwilling to abandon his brother, Pavium led his troops in a staggered retreat. He reunited the scattered salvage crew, and together they fought off waves of Flood before Voridus re-established contact.{{Ref/Level|Id=Retreat|HW2|Fighting Retreat}} | Months after [[Installation 09]] left the Ark, Atriox tasked Pavium and his brother with a mission to salvage starships near the remains of ''[[High Charity]]'' to judge their worthiness as members of his inner circle.{{Ref/Reuse|Wrong}}{{Ref/Reuse|back}} While Voridus scouted ahead near ''High Charity'', Pavium established an outpost near a Forerunner defense station which contained the [[Archive]].{{Ref/Reuse|Wrong}} As Pavium and his forces began establishing a salvage path towards ''High Charity'', they were attacked by the Flood, which had been inadvertently released by Voridus when he breached the containment shield around ''High Charity'' in an attempt to salvage its interior.

While Voridus monitored the nearby Flood activity, Pavium operated a trio of [[salvage drill]]s to destabilize the chemicals in the ground underneath and destroyed the Flood growth at the entrance.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Light the Fuse}} Having been rescued by Pavium, Voridus led a small party into the Archive to reactivate the Forerunner defense network, while Pavium defended the surrounding area. As the Flood's assault forced Pavium to retreat to the entrance, Pavium managed to reactivate teleporters into the Archive, and sent reinforcements to support Voridus.{{Ref/Level|HW2|The Archive}} | ||
Although Voridus had reactivated the Sentinel defense network, a massive [[Proto-Gravemind]] had taken form outside ''High Charity'', and began commanding the Flood. Pavium and Voridus regrouped at a Banished outpost nearby, and, fighting through the Flood defenses while assisted by Forerunner Sentinels, the two built up a network of [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Antlion]]s in the area to destroy the Proto-Gravemind. The two succeeded in destroying the Proto-Gravemind, just before Atriox arrived personally. Pavium, along with Voridus, was tasked by Atriox to secure the breach on the containment shield.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Manifestation}} | Although Voridus had reactivated the Sentinel defense network, a massive [[Proto-Gravemind]] had taken form outside ''High Charity'', and began commanding the Flood.

Leading their [[Banished]] [[Clan of the Long Shields]], Pavium pursued the religious factions to stop them. During the pursuit, Pavium was faced with internal rivalry with [[Thalazan]] who sought to succeed Pavium as warlord. Pavium's forces and the Keepers along with Bhasvod's Covenant ultimately clashed at [[Epsilon Clarion]], resulting in the most of the Long Shield's forces lost. Pavium and Voridus were knocked off a bridge in the conflict, but survived.{{Ref/Novel|DW}} | ||
